Offstream is seeking a talented backend software engineer to join our expanding engineering team.

This position offers a unique opportunity to significantly influence the architecture and development of the Offstream product.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with founders and team members to understand product requirements and develop effective technical solutions.
  • Architect significant portions of Offstream's codebase, focusing on infrastructure, data storage, and deployments.
  • Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and sprint planning/retrospectives.
  • Mentor and share knowledge with other engineers as the team grows.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience, preferably with some time at an early-stage startup.
  • Experience with AWS and infrastructure as code best practices.
  • Understanding of software development principles, including testing, CI, and deployment strategies.
  • Familiarity with Offstream's tech stack: Typescript, Next.js, GraphQL, and Postgres.
  • Experience with relational databases.
  • Interest in product and design.
  • BS/MS in Computer Science or a related field.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Work Environment

  • We operate in two-week sprints using standard tools like GitHub, Asana, and Slack.
  • We foster a culture of blameless incidents, focusing on learning from mistakes and improving processes.
  • We value steady effort and continuous improvement.
  • We encourage team players who contribute to enhancing the developer experience.

Interview Process

  1. Intro Call with Zach: Learn more about Offstream, our mission, goals, and tech stack.
  2. First Technical Interview: Solve a technical problem similar to real work at Offstream.
  3. Second Technical Interview: Focus on system design, discussing relational databases and APIs.
  4. Team Interview: Meet with Zach and Varsha to discuss your background and motivations.

  • A full suite of benefits.
  • Unlimited PTO with a minimum of 2 weeks off per year, plus all federal holidays and a company shutdown between Christmas and New Year.
